EurOCEAN 2000

EurOCEAN 2000 (29 August - 2 September, Hamburg, Germany) fostered the exchange of ideas across the boundaries of science, administration and policy. The conference brought research providers together with intermediate and end users to improve the mechanisms of research and technology transfer into the applied domain. Engineers, scientists, industrialists, administrators and politicians discussed the relevant issues of marine research implementation, to improve the interfacing of natural science, socio-economy and policy, and to develop the key science areas where Europe can play a significant role.
